Applicability and mid-term results of endovascular treatment for descending thoracic acute aortic syndromes.

Background: Descending thoracic acute aortic syndromes (DTAASs) are life-threatening pathologies in which thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is an attractive therapeutic option. There are few data in the literature on the survival and morbidity rates of TEVAR in such indications. We provide the results of TEVAR from our single-center cohort of DTAASs: ruptured aneurysms (RAs), acute symptomatic dissections (ADs), and traumatic ruptures (TRs).
